意識之擴展是安詳 Expansion Of Consciousness Is Peace
#168 1998/8/26 德國 漢堡
意識在身體表面移動時稱之為刺激，刺激造成愉快的感覺。當意識收縮時，疼痛與痛苦的感覺出現，痛苦是意識的縮小或收縮。
當意識以有限的管道流過身體時，快樂的感覺即被體驗到。重複不斷的享受刺激使人遲鈍與呆滯。通常廚師不會享受他們烹調的食物。同時反覆不斷的聽著同樣的音樂，使音樂失色。從事色情工作的人無法享受性愛的樂趣。
假如觀照刺激則意識擴展而變成安詳。具有覺知時，刺激即失去意義；無論它存在與否都無關緊要。當太陽存在時，點不點腊燭都無所差異。體認到一切享樂只不過是刺激而已，同時你體認到遠大於刺激，自由即出現。痛苦無非是意識期望擴展並得到自由。自由是從刺激的渴求中解脫。痛苦並非永恆的狀態。
意識的自然傾向在擴展，在變成無上的喜悅。就像水自然的傾向是要向下流動般，同時空氣的自然傾向是不要處於壓力之下一般，意識之自然傾向是要擴展而成為安詳。就像患有失眠症的人一樣忘了如何睡覺，我們大多數的人都忘記了如何處於安詳與無上的喜悅中。
問：那麼唱場中的享受又如何？
古儒吉：唱場的享受引導你擴展。
168 EXPANSION OF CONSCIOUSNESS IS PEACE
Weekly Knowledge #168 Hamburg 26 Aug 1998 Germany
Consciousness moving on the surface of the body is stimuli, which cause pleasure. When consciousness shrinks, then the sensation of pain and suffering arises. Suffering is the shrinking or contraction of consciousness.
When consciousness moves through the body in limited channels, pleasure is experienced. Repeated enjoyment of the stimuli causes inertia and dullness. Often cooks don't enjoy their own food. Listening to the same piece of music loses the charm, people in the sex industry don't enjoy sex. If the stimuli are observed, then consciousness expands and becomes peace. With awareness the stimuli lose their significance; whether they exist or not makes no difference. When the sun is there, then whether the candle is lit or not makes no difference. To realise that all pleasures are just stimuli and that you are more than the stimuli brings freedom.
Pain is nothing but consciousness wanting to expand and to become free. Freedom basically is liberation from the craving of the stimuli. Pain is not a permanent state. The natural tendency of consciousness is to expand, to become bliss. Like the natural tendency of water is to flow downward, and the natural tendency of air is not to be under pressure, the natural tendency of consciousness is to expand and to be at peace. Like the person who is an insomniac and has forgotten how to sleep, most of us have forgotten to be at peace and in bliss.
Question: What about the pleasure in Satsang?
Answer: The pleasure of Satsang takes you towards expansion.
NEWS FLASH !
A beautiful course in the beautiful mountain setting of Norway ... visit to the Tamilian Sri Lankan temple in Oslo ... public lectures in Sweden ... it was always the same: everyone blissfully cried out "please stay longer". Guruji visited Finland for the first time for a total of 15 hours. In this short time, he made the headline news on the main television channel. Several people dreamed of Sri Sri even before hearing about him. Many people signed up for the basic course.In Hamburg, Guruji addressed the oldest Rotary Club of Europe along with a blissful Satsang in a fully packed church which left everyone spell-bound. Welcoming Guruji, the priest said "It is time to open the church doors for real spiritual knowledge".
